As a player for villa in his first spell i thought he was the best centre forward i had ever seen for his bravery and his goals. As a person though,i never really liked him

He did a lot more against us after he left - three times - than Dwight Yorke ever has.

Just wondered if you thought the same about him.

when did Yorke run down the Villa? He's never said a bad word about us or his time at the club.

Saying that Birmingham City were the biggest club in Birmingham is not running the Villa down ? Think maybe you have been away from home to long Toronto.

I have thought about what I said on Yorke yesterday and I am now of an opinion that I have been very kind. The man is a loathsome opportunist and never to be trusted regardless of what he is saying now.

I love Dwight Yorke. I also love Gareth Barry, Ashley Young and Darius Vassell who all left in relatively bad terms. There, I said it!

Yorkie said some silly things when he joined SHA (as you'd imagine he was obliged to by them) but it wasn't like he lasted very long and I'd forgotten he'd had that run in with Sullivan over the racism at Blackburn.

Yorke named Trinidad and Tobago head coach - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cy4nvg0wwpk

Consolation for not being picked to replace Ten Hag by Offshore Jim?

Now he can stop writing to Villa everytime a vacancy comes up.

He was a brilliant player for use especially 95-97. All round forward- ball at feet, back to goal, shooting, heading, just exceptional. I'd go so far to say only McGrath and at current trajectory Emi was better in my supporting time.

Shame he left because the way the game was heading meant it would be hard for us to break into and stay in that top bracket.

After well he acted like a prick towards us but I still recall he got a standing ovation playing for Sunderland in 2008.

He was a fantastic player. I was devastated when he left but time heals all wounds.
